Recreating those Pin Up shots of the 1940's with WWII Fighter Planes, Thursday 13th June 2019, 12:00-14:30

Promoter: Timeline Location: North Weald

Cast your mind back to
those post war ‘Pin Up Post Cards’ and you are already with us
this summer. In the 1940’s they were seen as ‘risqué’, nowadays more just a bit
of fun. Either way we are sure you will agree that these iconic images have stood
the test of time, so what better way to spend a summers afternoon than to be
part of a group of photographers aiming to recreate these images.

Again we’re extremely pleased to bring you
another exclusive opportunity to shoot glamour models with a period twist,
this time with an aircraft theme.With grateful thanks to the Hangar 11 collection we will be transporting
you back to the 1940's war and post war era when life was tough and a little glamour was hard to come by but the world was moving on. Colour photography was still in its infancy and
many photographers were still experimenting, but a few forward thinkers were
now mixing the ‘new’ colour film medium with the rich colours of those iconic
USAF Warbirds and the talents of models prepared to put there inhibitions to
one side and throw open the doors to embrace a new type of modeling. Rarely
before had model photography thrown off the shackles of a studio; however this
was about to change forever with the introduction of the Pin Up….

Our shoot will include the P51 Mustang - Tall in the Saddle and one of the collections British Warbirds, either a Spitfire or the rare Hurricane Bomber. Both planes will be positioned with the sun in mind and
with some distance between them to allow you plenty of space to work. In
addition to these beautiful aircraft we will also have the use of a US Jeep and
possibly a US Army Harley Davidson motorbike. To add further atmosphere to the
shoot we will have our fog and smoke machines on site along with coloured
lighting and of course normal lights to add the sparkle.

We have four models arranged for our shoot all with a
varied wardrobe geared towards that period Pin Up style. We will run the
sessions splitting photographers into smaller groups, each group working with a
different model for thirty minutes or so. This ensures everyone gets to photograph
each girl and plenty of variety in the portfolio.

There are two sessions during the day and this session will run from 12:00-14:30.

As with our previous events of this nature we
expect tickets to sell fast so please book early to
avoid disappointment.
